I suppose the lens quality in the Sputnik doesn't make the change in
thickness/pressure plate position (120 with paper vs 220 without) an
issue, but aren't you concerned about extra scratches showing up on the
unprotected back of the 220 film?  Maybe a little extra sanding along
the film path - particularly the pressure plate - is needed.
